ABOUT TREE PEONIES
Tree peonies are perennial shrubs with woody branches that bloom at the beginning of May before the herbaceous peony bloom. Their woody structure allows them to produce gigantic dinner-plate-sized flowers on plants that grow from 3 to 7 feet tall. After the bloom, tree peonies provide structure to the garden with deep green leaves in summer and bronze and purple foliage in fall. Native to china and cultivated for millennia, these deer-resistant plants thrive in horticultural zones 4-9. Tree peonies grow slowly, producing 2 to 6 inches of new growth each year. Given well-drained soil and dappled sunlight, they will live for centuries. They are absolutely stunning plants that compliment any perennial garden.
Our plants are mature, each boasting three or more branches on a strong root.
